Arsenicum Album Homepathic Remedy

Product Description

Arsenic is a toxic chemical element, historically used as a poison. But it is safe to use with infants through to the elderly when prepared in homeopathic potencies. Those who need Arsenicum are prone to hypochondriasis and are intolerant of untidiness and disorder. They are anxious, critical, and restless, and dislike being alone but may be irritable with company. Restlessness may be followed by exhaustion which is out of proportion to their illness. They fear illness and disease, death, and being alone. Discharges tend to be acrid and burning. Burning pains paradoxically feel better for heat (except the headache which is better for cold applications). Thirst is for sips of warm drinks but cold drinks worsen. Symptoms worsen between midnight and 2 AM.

Like cures like
For example, if your allergy or cold symptoms are similar to what happens when you cut an onion (burning, red, watery eyes and runny nose), then Allium cepa (which is the Latin name for onion, and is a remedy often used for allergies and colds) would be the correct homeopathic remedy for you at this time.

Minimal Dose
The remedy is taken in an extremely diluted form; normally one part of the remedy to around 1,000,000,000,000 parts of water. While skeptics of homeopathy believe the remedies cannot possibly work because they are so diluted and no longer contain any physical trace of the original ingredient, proponents and practitioners understand that remains is INFORMATION: this energetic trace without physicality is all that’s required to nudge the body’s own healing responses.

Prescribing the right homeopathic remedy takes more time and patience than conventional medicine. Exactly the right remedy needs to be taken for your particular constitution and symptom: what makes you feel worse or better; what aggravates or alleviates symptoms; which side or part of the body it is experienced, as well as any other physical, emotional symptoms or states of mind that occur along with the main complaint. The indications listed with each remedy are a general guide and good starting point, and it is important to consult a qualified healthcare practitioner to determine the best single homeopathic remedy for your situation.

Why use Homeopathic remedies? Homeopathy has become one of the most widely used systems of medicine in the world. This success is fueled by several factors:

Efficacy. When the correct remedy is taken, results can be rapid, complete and permanent.

Safety. Because of the minimal doses, even babies and pregnant women can use it without the danger of side effects. Homeopathic remedies can also be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects. Additionally, Homeopathic remedies are not addictive or habit forming – once relief is felt, you should stop taking them. If no relief is felt, you are probably taking the wrong homeopathic remedy.

Natural. Homeopathic remedies are normally based on natural ingredients. Harmonious. Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines which suppress the immune system. (For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s attempt to clear the lungs) Holistic. Homeopathy treats all the symptoms as one, which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. This often means that symptoms tackled with Homeopathy do not recur.   Remedies currently available: Arsenicum album, Hypericum, Ipecacuanha ( Ipeca ), Mercurius Solubilis, Natrium Muriaticum, Staphysagria.
